Sync.” The next section of the manual will detail the proper operation of 

these four modes.

adjustment. You may change the speed Slider adjustment at any time

Once you have selected you chase patterns use the speed 

slider to control amount of time it takes the chase to prog-

ress from scene to the next. This adjustment can range from 

the minimum of 1/10 of a second progression to a maximum 

of 10 minutes progression.

Running a Chase Pattern with the Audio Slider:

This mode will allow to run your patterns to the beat of music. You may 

change the Audio Sensitivity at any time while the chase pattern is run-

ning. Your  adjustments  to  the  speed  slider  will  affect  the 

chase pattern in real time.
